Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot

Primary Alcohol: Rum Chata Liqueur and Fireball Whiskey

Serving size: 1.5ounce shot glass

My encounter with this drink came while a coworker was making fun of my preferences in alcohol taste. Luckily for me, she was a bartender in a previous life and knew every delicious combination of drink known to mankind. So when happy hour started one day, this was our first shot.

Her alternative to a Fire and Ice shot, obviously not as strong but a better way to drink Rum Chata that doesn’t include coffee or drinking it straight. The richness of the liqueur is just too much for my stomach sometimes.

Appearance: Caramel with a milky appearance. If you stir up the milk after eating a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch, this is what your shot would look like.

Taste: It’s called a cinnamon toast crunch shot for a reason. And I love me some cinnamon toast crunch.

Warning: Not really necessary; it’s a pretty weak shot. Fireball by itself isn’t too bad, but the Rum Chata dilutes it and makes it taste delicious.
